Towards fair and effective North–South collaboration: realising a programme for demand-driven and locally led research

ResearchTowards fair and effective North–South collaboration: realising a programme for demand-driven and locally led researchAt the turn of the 90s, studies showed that health research contributed little to health and development in low- and middle-income countries because it was oriented towards international priorities and dominated by researchers from the North. A new approach to North–South collaboration was required that would support demand-driven and locally led research in the South. The aim of this study was to analyse the development and functioning of a programme for demand-driven and locally led research in Ghana that was supported by a North–South collaboration.
